She works in reverse...
She works in reverse. When she meets you at a bar —at a coffee shop— she surprises you with her frankness. Where most would shy away, you want to know more. Always more. Late at night she talks on the phone in quiet tones. Sometimes the rawness of her words makes you wince. Their truth burns through you, like whiskey on a dry throat. The grit before the glitter.

Oh I get it! Coffee is to Whisky as Grit is to Glitter.
Maybe if you are in AA. :) I would say for me, and in keeping with your analogy, coffee:glitter as whiskey:grit.
quiet, sleepy tones.

I think this would be a perfect description for the work of Brenda Shaughnessy! Please look her up, it's really worth with the time
I wrote you a haiku:
How I love whiskey
The simple burn in the throat
Makes the morning right...
